Can I drive in Portsmouth with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license issued in the U.S, you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S., know that you'll also have to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the vehicle needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as the car rental website before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse rough terrain with a rental car.
